Fake Benefit number 2

So this is following on from my blog post that I made last week. This is another fake product I got conned into due to the price.
This is Benefit's lemon aid eyelid primer, you can also use it as a normal concealer. I think this product has been discontinued also. But anywhere here's the low down!

Admittedly I was very convinced by the packaging but it's good, so who wouldn't be? After doing some research online I come to realise mine was a fake. 

The product code is apparently on the wrong side of the box.

The consistency of the product- now I didn't think it was terrible but for something that is on the higher end of the scale I was expecting better results and it not being so hard to work with.

This isn't the best photo but there is no capital L for London and there is no space between the post code. Another give away for me was the fact that on the box with the ingredients list it said "Shea better" now I always thought it was shea butter! So yeah this made me totally convinced that this is a fake benefit product.


As I said in my last post I won't try and search for these deals on Ebay again. I'm a big lover of Ebay and this hasn't put me off the site but I think people need to be careful with what they buy on there, especially these fake products as you can't really guarantee what is actually in them! I have done these blog posts so others can see :)

Glossy Box- April- Earth day edition!

This is my review of this months Glossybox! It was in relation to Earth Day. So all the products are organic!

5 products this month, with 3 full size products in here! This is my first GB, I was a loyal subscriber to Carmine so as you all know they are no longer around, so thought I would try these guys! On with the products!

CAUDALIE- Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum
This is a 10ml sample size but no way is this true, squeezing the bottle and only once I'm nearing the bottom do I see any product coming out. Used this last night, my mum loved it! However I'm not really sold, partly due to the lack of product. But my skin does feel soft this morning! So this is kind of a hit and miss for me I'm afraid.

KAI- Perfume Oil

Gutted. Half full. An what a rubbish size sample! It's not even worth it. I don't like the smell its far too strong and floral for my personal taste. With other beauty boxes I have experienced this would of been classed as an added bonus product! This one is a thumbs down for me.

FIGS AND ROUGE- Lip Balm in Rambling Rose
This is good, beautiful packaging! An lip balm is always usable. Not too keen on the smell/taste I have it in though as others seem to have much nicer ones! But I can always use this so thats great! Perfect size to take with me on my Holidays! It says you can use it on your face also/skin in general but I don't think I'll be doing that! OH! It's full size by the way! Full Size £3.29 (What an odd price!)

AYUURI- In Sandalwood
Happy to see this, great size product, full size YAY. Smell is quite nice looks like it could be really moisturising. I can't wait to try this out. You can never go wrong with body wash. Full Size £4.95.

INIKA- Black eyeliner
Glad to see this, lovely make up product I will always use eyeliner. Can't go wrong! Happy to see I got black as it is a useful colour. This is also full size £11.75. I'll show the swatches now.

Thin line- one stroke.
Fatter line- building it up.


Overall I'm happy with my box but not thrilled, I've had better, but I love the theme and the box itself. For me what let it down was the perfume sample. When seeing what other people got, this seems a little tight. But there we go! Win some you loose some. I don't think I will be getting another Glossy box. I'm awaiting the new mysteries LUXBOX. An considering going back to She Said Beauty. However I'm debating whether these boxes are worth the money. But hey, its fun right?!
